[Openexr-announce] CTL has been released

[Florian Kainz]

CTL has been released.

The Color Transformation Language, or CTL, is a programming language for
digital color management.  Color management requires translating images
between different representations or color spaces.  CTL allows users to
describe color transforms in a concise and unambiguous way by expressing
them as programs.  In order to apply a given transform to an image, a
color management system instructs a CTL interpreter to load and run the
CTL program that describes the transform.

The image viewers included in the OpenEXR software distribution, exrdisplay
and playexr, both support color rendering via CTL.  For more information
see http://www.openexr.com/OpenEXRViewers.pdf.

Sorce code and documentation for the CTL interpreter can be downloaded
from http://ampasctl.sourceforge.net/.  Please note the license under
which CTL is distributed; it is similar but not identical to the OpenEXR
license.
